Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Depart Shira Camp for Barranco Valley
Thursday, January 11, 2024
Hello again everyone -
The Kili team is still hanging tough!
We left our second camp called Shira this morning just after 8am and didn’t make it to far before the rains returned. The team made it to our high point (15’000) thus far called Lava Tower where the rains turned to heavy wet snow. Unfortunately the usual beautiful views were obscured but the team did great and everyone is feeling good, minus being a little more damp than we’d like.
We continued down valley to our new home for the night in Barraco valley. And thankfully the rains have tapered and we are enjoying a little break in the very abnormal weather we are having.
Fingers crossed the weather will break and we can dry out a bit and enjoy some much needed sunshine.
